Thanks a lot for the feedback! I think it definitely makes sense to
broaden the proposal to include more than just cleaning up after the
pagure migration-- though I still think that's a good place to start,
since it's something that happened relatively recently.
Welcome back, and thanks for reminding me to reply to this. First of all, I
really appreciate your proposal. I agree with the others that a larger scope
is appropriate for an objective (while at the same time, I'd like there to
be definite measurable expected results, too).
I'd like to see this include packager experience for our new packaging
technologies -- modularity, container images, flatpaks. Having tried to
modularize a traditional Fedora desktop application recently, I know for
sure that the packager experience is sub-optimal. The current Modularity
objective itself is at the end of its timeframe and it's possible that
instead of renewing that, those further improvments should be part of this
bigger thing.
Additionally, some people have been working on a "source git" idea
(
https://github.com/user-cont/source-git). Do you think that might be in
scope? There's a talk coming up on this at DevConf.cz:
